Health - 26 January 2007

I just recently had what I believe to be a panic attack. I had to go to the ER b/c my heart rate was at around 188, and now I'm struggling with anxiety, like fear of having another one, and just feeling down all the time, and depressed. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than taking medications) to help me overcome this before it gets any worse? Like breathing tecniques, or relaxation tecniques, just anything would help. I don't want to live like this forever. Serious answers only please. Thank you.

"Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart
attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating
improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only
about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing
repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should
be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep
and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep
inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two
seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until
the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing
movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood
circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also
helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart
attack victims can get to a hospital." (Thanks to the author

I have always been pale and now the anemia is making me even paler. I need to know if there's a certain diet I need to follow or if there are certain things that I could do to bring my face back to life.

I found this in a forum:
"This makes sense.. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!
Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal."

I know a man that has been sexually molesting a thirteen year old little girl. She kept getting UTI and bleeding from the bowels when the doctor found seman in her urine.The perpertrater was the one that took her to the doctor around the 1st of November and the results are still not back. The perpetrator ( The little girls grandmothers live in ) did not want the Doctor doing the test but they did them anyway because this was the 2nd time he had brought her in with the same problem.The grandmother Patricia and the live in David has raised the child because the mother of the child Patricias daughter give her to her mom when she was a baby . Patricia is an alcoholic and has been caught while drinking and driving several times. Some with Kayla in the car. I hope i haven't rattled to much. I always do when i am nervous . I am very nervous that he is still free to do what he wants. Kayla was removed by social services and given to her mom and mom has probably given her back to Patricia .

My penis has always been bent downwards severely like a banana when errect. It is 8 inches long.. What can i get done to it to get it straight? or curved up? From what the internet said,, i cant have anything done. Is that true? If not, What can I do? I am 35 yrs old. I only had sex one time, I lost my virginity last year, It was painful, and my erections are weak. I have been masturbating since the age of 14, and still do. I think I over masturbate and that causes the weakness, and pain in the shaft... Question really is, what can I do to straighten it up?
